About The Pheasant Hotel
Converted from a blacksmith's forge and a pair of cottages beside the mill pond, the Pheasant is the quieter of Harome's two well-known addresses and all the better for it. Sixteen rooms are decorated in an unfussy country style, with garden or pond views, and there are family rooms, four-posters, a duplex suite and a self-contained cottage for longer stays.
The kitchen, under chef-director Peter Neville, has collected awards steadily and keeps a serious tasting menu alongside more straightforward dishes in the bar. There is an indoor heated swimming pool, which is an unusual find in a village hotel of this size and a genuine asset with children or on a wet afternoon.
Harome sits in gentle farmland at the foot of the moors, with Helmsley three miles away and Rievaulx Abbey a little further. It suits guests who want good food and a slow pace rather than a town on the doorstep, and it is well placed for Nunnington Hall, Castle Howard and the drive north over Blakey Ridge. Dog-friendly rooms are available and parking is on site.
What guests say
We were very optimistic when we arrived for Sunday Lunch. Its a lovely idylic place, very well kept and pleasant staff. Great views from the outside table over looking the duck pond. Then the food turned up. Both the lamb and beef was undercooked and fatty. Couldnt get a knife through it. We both couldnt eat it, so we only had the side servings of veg, and the yorkshire pudding. Even after mentioning it, they did not take anything off the bill. Also, disappointingly, we were sat by the kithchen,and had to listen to some bad language fron the chefs. Started off well, but overall a poor experience, so wont be returning for a while. Im sure within a year, there will be a change of mgt, there always is.

We found this wonderful place by chance. Liam (General Manager) provided us with the only available room. We had dinner 2 nights running, which was superb and professionally served & presented. The atmosphere is warm & friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The setting is both beautiful & peaceful. Thank you .

We had lunch on the terrace overlooking the duck pond - fabulous position! We both ordered from the a la carte menu and were not disappointed - the food was fabulous and far more 'cheffy' than expected. Service was also first class, all credit to Liam and his team for a great experience - many thanks!
